''[=BoxxyQuest=]'' is a series of semi-satirical [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PC]], {{Freeware|Games}}, {{Role Playing Game}}s made in UsefulNotes/RPGMaker XP by [=SpherianGames=], in collaboration with voice actress and former Website/YouTube star Catherine Wayne. It tells the story of a girl named Catie, (both [[TheDanza named for]] and [[AsHimself voiced by]] Wayne), and her adventures.
The games are:
## ''VideoGame/BoxxyQuestTheShiftedSpires''
## ''VideoGame/BoxxyQuestTheGatheringStorm''
----
!!Multiple entries of the ''[=BoxxyQuest=]'' games have examples of:
* AmnesiacHero: Catie, throughout the series:
** The first game, ''VideoGame/BoxxyQuestTheShiftedSpires'':
*** It starts with her waking up in the middle of nowhere with no memories, and her search for answers is what drives the plot. She gets those answers, ([[TomatoInTheMirror and doesn’t like them]]), but never actually recovers any of her memory.
*** It's described when she meets Anonymous, when he says:
----> "Adventurer's Amnesia," eh? If I've seen it once, I've seen it a thousand times. People tend to get it right before they find out they're the Chosen One, or what have you. I got it myself, once upon a time; but I suppose that's another story, huh?
** The second game, ''VideoGame/BoxxyQuestTheGatheringStorm'', she’s mostly made peace with her amnesia, and would rather make fresh memories in her new life instead. [[spoiler:In fact, when the Sky Queen tries to reawaken Catie’s old identity during the epilogue, Catie actually panics and fights against it.]]
* IdiosyncraticEpisisodeNaming: The games are named "[=BoxxyQuest=]: The [Verb] [Noun]": ''VideoGame/BoxxyQuestTheShiftedSpires'', ''VideoGame/BoxxyQuestTheGatheringStorm''.

** ''VideoGame/BoxxyQuestTheGatheringStorm'':
*** Arianna, named before being fought in the Lake of Fanfiction.
*** Mary Sue, named when talked to in the Lake of Fanfiction.

--> '''Maid:''' Me? You want ME to join your party? But I'm not even a named character! What could I possibly have to offer that would be of any help to you?
** ''VideoGame/BoxxyQuestTheGatheringStorm'' has a unique visual variant – you can easily tell if a character is going to be important by whether or not their sprite’s eyes blink.
* StarterEquipment: The series' recurring characters usually have similar starting equipment across games.
** Catie always starts off with a Byte Staff and a Mooninites T-Shirt, but the headgear is different between games:

*** ''VideoGame/BoxxyQuestTheGatheringStorm'': The headgear is Catie's Tiara.
